Education Tdeals The Seniors and their Parents are to be congratulated on the occasion of this graduation exer- cise - the parents for providing their children with the opportu- nity of a real and complete edu- cation and the graduates for util izing this opportunity, because a great deal of what is careless-=- ly catted education today is at best a very superficial training. When America was young, edu- cation was firmly grounded on the truth that knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom,but since the latter part of the nineteenth century a great deal of education came under the influence of secu- larism,a philosophy which conven- lently forgets God and confines man's destiny to this earth. The result is that it began to con- fuse means with ends and instead of teaching a person the neces- sity of how to live well,it sole- ly concerns itself with teaching him how to make a temporal liv- ing. Education should continue to make changes of policy fo meet. changing times but most of the all it should emphasize the prin- ciples that make the true Ameri- can - the Christian - concept of education the best in the world. This kind of education has for its purpose to teach a person not only how to make a living | but also how to live, and shapes every activity to this end. Underlying every course of study should be a program prescribed, not because of the professions or trades that students will one day pursue, but because of their ultimate destiny as children of God. Keeping these fundamentals in mind, our school then has for its primary purpose the education of the whole man in the finest tra- ditions of Christian culture to help him mature his faculties of intellect and will,body and soul, so that he may be prepared for life in time and eternity. Wishing the graduates God's blessings for continued success,I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Leon P. Pisula � oe sat | ee See a7 = f ee cei cs bre [ako tee ‘ J : Lib.

Mary won for herself pop- ularity and confidence in filling the post of chairman of numerous school presentations. The por- trayal of many characters was ev- idence of Mary's fine acting a- bility. Mary was an outstanding member of the Busy Bee Club hold- ing offices of Secretary, of Treasurer and of President. The task of art editor of the school paper fell into the very capable hends of Mary which was handled most expertly and merited her membership in the Quill and Scroll. Mary was chosen as one of the forty representatives of In- diana for the National Chorus of Music Convention held in Detroit. “We wish you success in the future, Mary.

Mae Bell, the little blond in the senior class who played the Saint in Imelda Beata , is in real life a fun loving girl with a sense of humor. Throughout her four years in high school she was very popular and she gave her whole-hearted support to all the club activities. During the first three years, Mae Bell held many important of- fices, such as class President, Club Treasurer and Editor of the 1947 Annual. Her senior year was an important one, too, for in that year she was president of the Club, the first president of the Student Council and Business Manager of the Annual.

Throughout her high school days, Kathleen, was mown as Kate™, During her four years in high school she has held two of- fices, that of assistant editor of the school paper, and treasurer of the Busy Bee Club. Although she did not hold many offices during the course of her four years, she was a willing worker. Whenever a dinner has been held, Kate has always cut the butter, which she did excellently! fThis willingness to work, and her. always merry disposition are the reasons that Kate has always been so popular among her friends. She also displayed her fine acting ability in a number of playse Her latest role was in the senior class play, in which she portrayed the “lisping Aimee .

With much enthusiasm and hope we entered the task of learning the familiar course of studies laid out before us. Many of the courses were quite a test of proving who were to be the victors and we were the winners. Each new year gave a more com- plete opportunity for enlighten- ment and understanding for the now present Seniors. Not all was hard work and study, for in our memory books will always remain the gay times had at all the parties, dances, picnics, plays,and especially the banquet prepared by our class in the Sophomore year. Each new year brought more responsibilities to be fulfilled by the seniors who had to lead two years because of the absence of a class in the year before us. Many moments in the history of the senior class cannot be fully written down but they will live in our memory and make an impression upon our future lives. Cass Prophecy Hello there, Mr. and Mrs. Radio Audience, this is Dick Yan- uszeski talking to you from the observation car of the Shen- andoah, that crack express be- tween New York and Chicago. For- get for a moment that you are sitting home in your easy chairs and imagine that you are speeding along at ninety miles an hour over two ribbons of steel that cover a great empire. Now let us move through the car and speak to some of the notable personages that are traveling today. Over in that comfortable seat is Mr. Bon- koski, the Wuclear Physiscist who is now the new director at Oak Ridge. Let's try and get a few words from this young lady coming up the aisle. ‘How do you do, Miss Miller, how about telling our listeners how it feels to be one of the biggest business wom- en in the United States?! Not so much different from working ina drug store, but it does make me feel like an old woman at 25. Say would you look at that group of ladies over in the cor- ner. I believe the one is Mary Young who is now singing in Donna Delagrange's latest broadway hit. 'Hello there, Mary, just who are all your lady friends?! Dontt tell me you've forgot- ten all your old school chums. You remember Kathleen De Pew? She is on her way to New York to re- view her latest book, The Lives of the Spinsters, quite a comedy hit from what I hear. And Mae Bell Myers is on her way to the coast to meet her husband coming in from Europe. He owns one of the finest strings of horses on the continent. Before we close this broad - cast let's have a few words with that young man who is so inter- ested in the view from the train windows. ‘Mr. Koblela, would you mind telling us just what is so interesting outside?! Not at all, Dick, you see I'm the new head of the Landscap- ing Dept. of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and, seeing to it that you get the best sights a- long our road is part of my job. Our time is up,so goodbye and andeedede jcketiicene: ' the next time.! ey We, the Seniors of 1948, leaving our last will and testament of our school days wish first and foremost to express our most sincere thanks and appreciation to our pastor who has given us his kind assistance and to the Sisters of St. Joseph's School for the help they have given us in preparing ourselves for the future.

We entered high school, Septem- ber 4, 1945 as Green Freshmen , ‘Iwo days later an. initiation party was held. For a week later “the boys wore different shoes and Ystockings and their shirts were worn’ backwards. The girls wore wWdifferent shoes and stockings and carried an umbrella. During our three years we have gone on three educational tours. These have been -to Chicago and Detroit. We have seen such places as Fleld s Museum, Planetarium, Greenfield Village and many other interesting places. We are look- ing forward for -our. last rip next year. Of. course we- had not only social sactlivities but -also had our shure of lessons. With the excellent hnelp of Sister Anasta- Sia and Sister Tuaeresa Marie we have succeeded in getting our LESSONS. @ 05 It 1s always said that one's high school days are the best years of one's life. So far this has proved true for all of the Juniors. Ne are anxiously looking forward for our last year of school. Sectors hen) Mi Ate. ae aie On the nicest morning ‘that you ever saw in the year 46 , the new group of freshmen came into Room 5 to visit Sr. Anastasia. We had a little talk with her about high school, and it made us feel pretty confident, but then we thought. ror! thes fun “thaat the juniors were planning for them- selves, “Our initiation .

After walking in we -recelved a friendly greeting from our teacher, Sister Anastasia and the friendly sophomores. A day to be remembered by all of us was September ll. On that day we were initiated by the sen- iors. It rained very. hard on the nientiof initiation. A senior girl started to take us for a walk but thanks to the rain we were saved from our doom. The freshmen girls looked rather awk- ward the week following initia- tion. They were seen out walking in the streets wearing aprons, baby bonnets and carrying baby bottles. After that we were full fledged members of S.J.H. All of.us enjoyed our first ‘educational tour which was taken in Chicago. We elected Roberta Mezydlo as our class president, Joan Bonkos- ki as vice president, and Connie Koble and Joan Bonkoski as stu- dent council representatives. The girls always looked for- ward to the parties held in S.J.H. because we always had a wonderful tine. We enjoyed our first year in S.J.H. and hope our three remain- ing years are just as enjoyable. Under the fine direction of Sister Anastasia we have battled through Religion, Health, Eng- lish, Algebra and Latin and are looking forward with eagerness to our sophomore year in 8.J.H. free Genlie ly bet Weel, be ter te im iit imetin Willie Yuely a ee ie Gaskettall The Schedule The 1947-48 campaign of the St. Name Place We They Joseph Crusaders was a compar- atively successful one.

Alumni here 40 26 as the first team did but the GeH.S. Alumni here 18 34 games they did play -were made possible by the fine co-operation “te “eam and support extended by the stu- dents, faculty, parents and coach. The combined efforts of the above nemed made the dream of a team a reality. The record of the team does not tell the real story as most of the losses were to teams of older and more experienced men. AG the very beginning of school in September and October the idea of a team caused quitea stir of excitement in the school. But this soon died dow because of the lack of support. No one really thougnt there would ever be another team, except one or two boys and Sister Theresa Marie. Inspired by several good breaks and outside support this group worked hard toward the far away goal. The gym was procured for two days each week and soon Earl Clark was obtained as coach. In the next montn much was done to- ward getting uniforms and balls. Skits were put on, a satisfactory agreement concerning the paying for the gevm was drawn up and three new basketballs were ob— tained. Then the first. game was scheduled and looked forward to excitedly.

It was presented on May Bea-o in the school auditorium. Each part was finely acted out and everything went off as well as every play that Sister Theresa Marie directs does. Richard Yanuszeski was chosen to portray Richard Papa Dill, a very handsome widower, of the Dill household. Carol Dill who is Papa Dill's young seventeen-year-old daugh- ter was finely acted out by Mae Bell Myers. Edward Kobiela acted his part as Rodney Dies Mr. Dillts sixteen-year-old son ina very fine manner. Also in other plays he has made an outstanding name for himself. The parts of Doris and Dudley Dill were acted out finely by the two juniors, Elizabeth Zecca and Robert Steinmetz. Donna Jean Delagrange portrayed Srandmother Dill, Richardts neurotic mother with all. her ability as an actress. In other plays Donna also held her own. Cousin Maude Madox who comes to visit the Dill's was acted out by Mary Young. -In this play Mary really made a name for her class. Margaret Miller portrayed mueune scott, Richard's bride, tO the finest of her ability. Kathleen DePew acts out Aimee Lovewell who is thinply cwazy . Over Rod. James Bonkoski acted outa high school athlete and Carol's heart-throb whose name is Pete Norton. The Widow Woggles, a nosey neighbor, was portrayed by Mary Ann Richter. The Negro COOK, who is Bemeid of the daffy folks, whose name is Arnica Jukes was acted by Dolores Yanuszeski, a pretty blonde. mnt) Educatioual “feature Upon arriving in Chicago via the B. 0. on November 13, the S.J.H. students and their teach- ers boarded a chartered bus and proceeded to the Bismarck Hotel where we breakfasted. Immediate- ly following breakfast we visit- ed the Observatory of the tallest building in Chicago, the Board of Trade Building, where we obtain a bird's-eye view of Chicago. After the view of the city we boarded our bus again and travel- ed to the Art Museum where we en- joyed a conducted tour. After our education in art we had a taste of Astronomy at the Adler Planetarium with a very impres- sive lecture. Leaving the Plan- etarium the hunery group of star-gazers ate lunch in the cafeteria at the Fieid Museum. The afternoon was highlighted by a tour of the Historical Muse- um after which we attended a flower show and spent the remain- ing hours feeding the monkeys at the Lincoln Park Zoo. The evening featured a deli- cious dinner at the Seneca Hotel, after which we bid a fond good-by to a hospitable Chicago and boarded; our’ trad with ‘many .a sigh. = Dining atthe Seneca Hotel On one September Morn the Stout Hearted Men from old Saint Joseph were informed that Now is the Hour for the first Meeting of Saint Josephts Glee Club. Full of joy and Hope we assembled in Room Six. Whisper- ing filled the air but was soon replaced by Music in the Air. Tuesdays and Thursdays were set aside as days for Reminis- cing with The Songs that Mother Taught Us , our most important days. White Christmas rolled around and we could be heard singing The First Noel and Si- lent Night .The halls were echo- ing our Glorious Music of our Christmas Carols. The stormy Winter passed into a sunny Spring and strains of I will Take You Home Again Kathleen Navy Blue and Gold, and While Strolling Through the Park One Day filled the air. Anyone who might have been lis- tening Anywhere was Mystified and astounded by our gala music. Because of Sister Theresa Marie's talent for directing, she became our director. Dolores Yanuszeski's and Mary Young's pi- ano playing cause us to Always look forward to wonderful days. Whether it was Singing In the Rain or singing in Spring our joyful voices were always heard. Fun was often added by the donation of a few boys singing in Barber Shop Quartet style. As the meetings went by it became Harder and Harder to coax us into going back to our stud- ies. Everyone inthe glee club themselves All of the was saying to my Life’ I will Remember good old days in Glee Club. The Busy Bee Club was off to a good start early in the fall when the students combined their ef- forts to make the Fall Festival success. From there on in the Club, both social and business ae tivities were our responsibility. The Buffet Supper, the Lenten Noon Lunch, the Spring Fete and the various plays are a few of the activities undertaken by the Club. Every function from the initiation to the banquet was success and this year is one on which the students will look back with pleasure. This year the Club planned to organize a basketball team. Everyone was determined that the team would be as good as it could possibly be. There was unusual co-operation between the teachers and students. Even the Mothers of the students were interested and with their help the team was able to buy new uniforms. Perhaps the success of the Club was due in part to the of- ficers. In the first semester the officers were: Mae Bell Myers, President; Margaret Miller,Vice President; Bob Steinmetz, Secre- tary; Mary Young, Treasurer and Bill Young, Business Manager. In the second semester the officers were; James Bonkoski, President; Donna Delagrange, Vice President ; Edward Kobiela, Secretary; Kath- leen DePew, Treasurer and John Miller, Business Manager. —— Keep trying, keep striving for new boundries, keep going even if the road is rough.

To you teachers, I would like to say thank you. What you have made us learn we can be proud of. There are, no doubt, bigger schools in this world that have larger teaching staffs but rT doubt if there is a_ school that has a better one. I want to tell you, my class- mates, Jim, Dick, Margaret, Mae Bell, Mary, Kathleen and Don- na that it's beena pleasure as well as an honor to go to’ school and work with you, who are of the finest calibre. On graduation day many times Mothers and Fathers feel very much left out. Everyone is rush- ing here and there, and perhaps even that goodbye kiss is forgot- ten before we leave the house. Don't worry, Mom and Dad, you are far from forgotten for you will always be our best friends and greatest teachers. I've often wondered how you parents must feel on graduation night. As you sit here this eve- ning I hope from the bottom of my heart that youtre feeling proud, proud that we are graduating. ' become more There is nothing that would make us feel more ready to leave school than to know that you are proud of us and are confident we can succeed. No matter what further educa- tion we might receive, to what great colleges we might go, into what fields we might advance, we will never learn a more important lesson than the one you taughtus from our youngest days. I be- lieve we could summarize that lesson in one sentence-- No mat- ter what you do, know what you are doing, and do it right . I be= lieve if everyone in this world that is torn by war, ° infected with the prejudice of man and justly shocked by the possible future would learn that one les-= son, we, the three boys on the platform tonight would not have to wonder if all our hopes are to be shattered by another war. All people, not only us, but all men and women alike would not have to live in fear that men might seek to destroy one another. In closing I would like to serious than [I have ever been in all my life. Speak- ing for all my classmates as well as for myself I would like to say to you parents. Mom and Dad, if you do feel proud of me tonight, please take all that pride and multiply it a hundred-fold, then add all the joy wetve ever had together. This,Mom and Dadwill give you some idea of just how proud we are of you. Edward Kobiela Satutatoriau Friends: We the Senior Class of nine teen hundred and forty eight wish to welcome our pastor, Rev.
